My Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano (2018) was commissioned by Joonatan Rautiola. Composing for such a great virtuoso is a privilege: whatever I write, I can be sure that Joonatan will play it exactly the way I had envisioned. The Sonata is the only work I have written in two distinctly separate stages. In 2008 Mantta Music Festival commissioned a work for alto saxophone and piano - which was also premiered by Joonatan. Already then Joonatan proposed that I enlarge the work into a full Sonata. This happened finally, ten years later. It was interesting to revisit my idiom and thinking of 2008. Much has changed, but much hasn't. In the finale of the Sonata I use, once again, my beloved Venezuelan merengue rhythm. The finale ends the work in a euphoric mood. There are, however, also some more somber passages in the Sonata.
